mf2pt1 – Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from METAFONT source

mf2pt1 fa­cil­i­tates pro­duc­ing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a
METAFONT source file. It is not, as the name may im­ply, an
au­to­matic con­verter of ar­bi­trary METAFONT fonts to Type 1
for­mat. mf2pt1 im­poses a num­ber of re­stric­tions on the
METAFONT in­put. If these re­stric­tions are met, mf2pt1 will
pro­duce valid Type 1 out­put with more ac­cu­rate con­trol points than
can be re­verse-en­gi­neered by TeXtrace,
mf­trace, and other pro­grams which
con­vert bitmaps to out­line fonts.
